Lorem Ipsum Generator

Nothing, on purpose. It is scrambled Latin taken from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC). "Lorem" is the tail end of the word dolorem (pain), cut off mid-word. The text looks like language, so a layout reads naturally, but nobody gets distracted by what it says.

Here every sentence has 12 words and every paragraph has 4 sentences, so one paragraph is 48 words. For a 500-word mockup, ask for 11 paragraphs; for 1,000 words, 21. Use Words mode if you need an exact word count.

Yes. Choose Characters mode and enter the count — the output is cut to exactly that many characters, spaces included. It is handy for testing a 155-character meta description slot, a 280-character post or a fixed-width table cell.

Tick "English placeholder". The words come from a short list of plain English words, so the result reads like loose English rather than Latin. It is still random filler, not real sentences — use it when stakeholders find Latin confusing or when you want to check how English word lengths wrap.

Only if you tick "Start with Lorem ipsum". The first two words are then replaced by "Lorem ipsum"; the rest is randomly drawn from the classic lorem ipsum vocabulary, so it won't reproduce the full standard passage word for word. The option applies to Latin output only.

Set Format to HTML. Each paragraph is wrapped in its own paragraph tag, with characters escaped, ready to paste into a template. Markdown output is plain paragraphs separated by blank lines, which Markdown already treats as paragraphs.

Up to 10,000 of whatever unit you choose — 10,000 paragraphs, sentences, words or characters. Ten thousand paragraphs is about 480,000 words, which is far more than any layout needs, so large outputs may take a moment to render.

Placeholder text lets people judge a layout — type size, line length, spacing — without getting pulled into reading and editing the words. Its mix of short and long words also wraps more like real prose than repeating "text text text". The main risk is shipping it by accident, so search your pages for "lorem" before launch.

In Microsoft Word, type =lorem() on a new line and press Enter; =lorem(3,5) gives 3 paragraphs of 5 sentences. In VS Code and other editors with Emmet, type lorem and press Tab, or lorem100 for 100 words. This generator is handy when you need an exact character count, English filler or HTML paragraphs instead.

Yes. It derives from a text Cicero wrote over 2,000 years ago, which is in the public domain, and the filler made here is randomly assembled words with no owner. You can use it in commercial designs, templates and client mockups without credit.

No. The words are picked in your browser with its built-in cryptographic random number generator. Nothing you generate is sent anywhere or stored; Copy and Download text work entirely on your device.
